F#m
From the crow's nest high
I can spy the little islands
E F#m
Strewn like stones in the salty sea
F#m
Pour the rum-pum-pum
Hearts are beating like the drum
E F#m
The madness taking me (Hoo!)
[Chorus]
D A
One day, should port be made
E F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D A
This day, we shant delay
E F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Verse 2]
F#m
From the starboard bow
I can spy a city ruined
E F#m
Taken siege by a pirate's lance
F#m
Plundered gold
That was taken long ago
E F#m
Afore we had our chance (Dah!)
[Chorus]
D A
One day, should port be made
E F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D A
This day, we shant delay
E F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Verse 3]
F#m
From the decks below
I can spy out through the porthole
E F#m
Kingly ships of a naval fleet
F#m
While we schemed our raid
Our plan had been belayed
E F#m
For they'd made their retreat (Dang it!)
[Chorus]
D A
One day, should port be made
E F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D A
This day, we shant delay
E F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Verse 4]
F#m
From the port side shroud
I can spy under the moonlight
E F#m
Dreams of fortune awaiting me
F#m
Gold and rum
All there is under the sun
E F#m
But fate would disagree (Hey!)
[Chorus]
D A
Someday, if port be made
E F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D A
This day, we shant delay
E F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso
[Bridge]
F#m
At the Captain's wheel
He can spy out the horizon
E F#m
"Hands on deck! Tally-Ho!" he cries
F#m E F#m
"Silver! Gold! Plenty coffers to behold before your very eyes!" (Oh!)
[Chorus]
D A
One day, should port be made
E F#m
I'll miss her, how her waves throw
D A
This day, we shant delay
E F#m
On our way, our dear Calypso
